Should I use mouthwash?

Using mouthwash can be a beneficial addition to your oral hygiene routine. Mouthwash can help to freshen breath, kill bacteria, and reduce the risk of gum disease. However, it is important to choose a mouthwash that is alcohol-free and contains fluoride. Alcohol-based mouthwashes can cause dry mouth and may irritate the oral tissues. It is best to consult with your dentist to determine if mouthwash is suitable for your specific needs.
